No kidding,Gilkison recently pulled his 22-ft APEX out to western New Mexico to observe the total annular solar eclipse.He had a 40-mph crosswind on I-40 and was afraid to attempt pulling at anything over 45 mph.His mpg dropped to 10.6 mpg,from an ave.12.5.He said it was pretty freaky.
My Karmann Ghia will change lanes when emerging from under an overpass in similar conditions.
Orbywan's Ford motorhome looks like a VW 1-liter car in comparison to the APEX.I think the 5'r will be friendly on the road.Diesel pumps will hate it!
